Replenishing Energy Throughout the Day

Breaking up large projects or heavy mental activity with physical activities can refresh your energy and concentration, allowing you to get done much faster – and create much better work.

Every so often, take a break. Get off the computer, get out of your chair, get up, and do some type of light physical activity. Try going for a walk or sweeping.

Setting up your environment and cleaning it so that it’s clear and feels good to be in not only breaks up your energy, but also helps you focus on what you want to get done. A workspace that is ready encourages your higher development of the work that you are committed to.

Do whatever feels refreshing for you. Before your settle back in, make sure your desk is clean, your mind is clear, and you have all the tools you need within reach. Get yourself a drink of water to keep near. Tea is also a great way of kicking up light energy.

When all is in order, you can focus on your magic and fly through your project with a greater level of presence and creative energy.

As things come up during your process of working, note them in your planner to be dealt with once you’re done, let them go for now, and keep your focus on what you are in the process of. Distractions cost an average of fifteen minutes each time before your original focus is again reached.

If you have an emotion or some happening that feels like it’s hanging over your head or diverting your attention, take a moment out to address what is rising. Don’t let everything interrupt you, but do address your feelings as priority. When you return back to your work, you can freely concentrate and finish it up.

How do you keep your higher focus?

To happy working!

Being Happy - From the *Inside* Out

I've always been a people watcher.  As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest?  It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life.  I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale.  Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience.  They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off.  They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it.  Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something.  It is a part of who you are .  It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you.  Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck.  I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son.  I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy.   I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today.  In memory of grandpa, here is the story.  Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best.  There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was.  He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside.  It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday.  My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe.  As soon as we ...
